like a gift without any strings…
would you listen?
if i sold all my dreams
to give you one moment
when you knew you were loved…
would you care?
if i gave up my life
to help you find wings,
and pushed you to the edge
of the nest… would you fly?
if i knelt before you,
a man loving a woman,
and nothing more…
would you take me?
